Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pads w/ Tie-Downs for Crossbars - Universal - 33-1/2" Long - Qty 2
These pads worked well on our Yakima RailBar Crossbars- Item #Y00448-0449 that we also bought from etrailer around 2020/2021. Not sure if etrailer carries the exact Yakima Crossbars anymore, but think they have a similar model. Both the pads and crossbars work well to haul our kayak on our 2019 Subaru Forester. etrailer's customer service rocks! We had a lot of questions purchasing both items and they were great to talk to!
The product came quickly and was so easy to install on my existing roof rails! It is absolutely perfect to fit many needs above and beyond my kayaks and paddle boards. They look so good on my new 2019 Jag F-Pace I might leave them on all the time.

Malone Rack Pads for Crossbars - Surfboard or Kayak - 25" Long - Qty 2
I’ve used them a lot for my kayak and they work pretty well. Unfortunately they were not made for oval Honda factory crossbars, so sometimes they flip upside down while I’m sliding the kayak on and the padded side ends up on the underside of the crossbar. If Malone had a design that fit the wide oval bars, they would be perfect!
These are great. I use them to hold my sit-on-top. I pretty much leave them on the roof all summer/fall and no signs of wear after a year. I tie the elastic ends together as an added protection after installing on the bars but I’ve never had the elastic clips slip - even unloaded at freeway speeds!
What our customers are saying:
"excellent buying experience. the item arrived on schedule, in perfect condition, and was very easy to install - all needed parts were included."
